What you’re looking at
This page contains several brief humorous pieces typical of early-20th-century American satire: **Main cartoon (top):** A shivering person is asked to lean elsewhere so others can read, poking fun at someone's dramatic discomfort interrupting others. **"Variations in Time":** A satirical poem mocking the absurdity of time zones and local variations—how the same moment means different things across locations and contexts. The final line jabs at inaccurate local clocks. **"Epilaughs" section:** Contains a brief, sardonic anecdote about "Westley McIver," a hot-headed youth who ironically remains "cool—and collected" when finally facing real danger at a street crossing. **Bottom cartoon:** Two figures in a dangerous situation (appears to be a mine or quarry marked "DANGER"). One refuses rescue, explaining the man being saved is a braggart golfer who spent all summer boasting about making a hole-in-one; now he's made another—a dark joke about his impending death. The page mixes observational humor with darker comedic sensibilities typical of Judge's satirical style.
